Help! I Cheated On My Pre Op Diet



Recommended Posts

Today is my 7th day on my diet. My surgery is on Oct 2 and today I cheated for the first time and I was doing sooooo good. My diet consist of five shakes and bars and one small meal. I usually have two shakes and three bars with a 5oz chicken with veggies as my meal. Well today after my EGD I was so hungry and dizzy we went to ihop. My intention were to eat healthy but I was out of control. I ordered an omelet (egg substitute) with turkey bacon. Good so far right? THEN I STOLE ONE pancake FROM MY HUSBAND. How much in trouble am I. My initial weight was 200 and today at the doctor I was 195, I need to loose five more pounds by Oct 2.

I had an oops on my pre op diet too. You just need to start tomorrow out fresh, its a new day. It is hard to break all the bad habits that have gotten us into this mess. Take it one day at a time. It sounds like you have been doing good so far, and you can get back on track and you will lose 5 lbs by Oct 2nd!! Stay positive and don't beat yourself up too bad!!

I'm also October 2nd and I get 3-4 shakes a day and water..that's it. But yesterday I was diagnosed with a sinus infection and I have to take my antibiotics with food and avoid milk..problem is my boost is made of milk! So I had a piece of chicken. I need to lose 3 lbs before surgery. Get back on track and we will be fine. Don't forget ur last day will be clear fluids only I'm sure u will drop some weight there

I was told glucerna which is a diabetic ensure but the carbs in each are like 25! So I looked into the boost diabetic drink and they are only 16 carbs in each and higher Protein. My doctor also okayed that. The Atkins advantage shakes are good too and low calorie

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
